I'm having surgery on Nov 13th. I'm 6' 290 lbs and burning up all the time! I sweat like crazy and it drives me nuts. Have any of you experienced relief from this when losing weight?

Oh yeah. As a matter of fact, about 6 months out, I started being cold all the time. And I'm not talking just cold, but so cold my wife wouldn't let me touch her. She was always on me before surgery to warm her up, but then ...

That lasted about a year and now I am relatively balanced in the heat department. Sometimes a little cool, sometimes a little hot. I would like to consider myself "normal" now in that department.

I was always hot and sweaty took me so long to cool off after entering buildings. That was before surgery. Now I'm as cold as a fridge. I always bring a jacket and my fingers are like icicles. My surgeon says it's quite normal I really thought I had anemia for a while.

I will throw a huge party if this goes away. It's probably the number one stressor in my life right now. I wear a suit and when I walk into a business I can't be all sweaty and nasty. I actually try to plan meetings where it is cool. Crazy..

I have been the same pre op but now since loosing 70lbs life is much cooler. I used to hate Summer or just heat period I would be standing in my own pile of sweat and nothing was ever cold enough. Now I often freeze to death because I have lost my Water cooler stomach..... I was 316 Im down to 245 lbs in just 2 months. I hope you have the same results.

Same! Before I was so disgustingly sweaty - it was embarrassing. A few times I would break out in sweat, like at a wedding or party and I would be drenched all over. Almost immediately after surgery I have been really cold - even more than my wife. I am the one turning on the heater. I sleep with my electric blanket on - and I live in CA!

Wasn't that worst! I do that and it's so uncomfortable and so embarrassing. I'll do anything to get over that feeling.

Yep however I went to the other extreme. Now I'm cold all the time. LOL

I hope this happens to me! I hate just randomly swearing at inappropriate times!

I was hot all the time as well pre-op but really didn't sweat much unless I exercised. Since the surgery, I'm a little cooler now, but I wouldn't say I'm cold all the time......wish I was.

What you're gonna notice after losing some weight is that you feel colder in places you were once comfortable.

Happens to me all the f**king time!

Lmao. I love swearing all the time!

if you are hot then you are dehydrated and you need to drink more water. it happens just after surgery as well. Drink more water, it works.

unfortunately I am not feeling colder. on the plus side i tolerate the heat much better and dont sweat as early or as much and cool down faster, but i still like a very cold office and home. My feet do feel colder but that is about it. HOpefully the window of opporutinity has not closed and it will come. My wife and i are about 6 degrees apart from our comfort zones and it woudl be nice to narrow that a bit.

Starting around month 3, I was mega cold all the time. Had to wear gloves everywhere and constantly cranking the heat in the car, in the home office with a space heater, etc. Gloves walking around the mall or grocery store. must have looked like I moved from hawaii to wa in the middle of winter. lol. this lasted until about month 10, now I feel adjusted to a normal temperature. I am not freezing, but am not too warm either. Just right. There are occasions when I feel cold, but it is more the exception then the rule. I like feeling comfortable in most temps. It usually takes me a while to warm up and sweat when working out. As I get more fit, I am finding out I do not sweat like a pig any longer. That is a positive. However, it was not necessarily weight related. At month 7, I had lost most of my weight and was 185 (down from 360) . However, I still was a sweater when pushing myself in the workouts or running more than 20 minutes. In the last few months ( month 11-14), I stopped sweating so much, even when doing cross fit. I think it has to do with a better and more efficient cooling system as lean muscle increases and fat dissipates. Dunno. Chalking that last part up as a theory. I am about 172 today.
